Venezuela: Five Coup Attempts By Opposition Foiled In 2019

January 4, 2020 By Marco Teruggi, Workers.org Resist! Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

Five major violent right-wing operations in Venezuela were put out of commission in 2019. That explains, in part, why the country is ending the year with a tranquility that many find surprising. The last major operation was supposed to take place Dec. 15. No one could have known at the beginning of 2019 how the year would end. Juan Guaidó had proclaimed himself “president” of Venezuela in an operation created and publicly supported by the U.S. under President Donald Trump. The country appeared to be heading for a violent confrontation with no end in sight.

Crisis & Critique: Venezuela, A Paradox Of Stability?

January 4, 2020 By Ociel Lopez, Venezuelanalysis.com Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

For Venezuelans, the start of 2019 was perhaps the tensest moment in the past seventeen years. Unlike the political violence of 2017 and the electoral abstention drama of 2018, we faced a real scenario of foreign military intervention in Venezuela. And for the first time, Washington’s long repeated threats to use military force, like in Iraq, Libya, Panama, etc., appeared credible. As the year wore on, the errors and miscalculations implicit in the US strategy became increasingly evident. A “parallel government” headed by Juan Guaido was created, but it had minimal capacity to shape events inside the country...

Grassroots Democracy And The Social Production Of Housing

December 29, 2019 By Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. Create! Democracy, Evictions, Housing, New Economy, Venezuela

Pobladoras is a platform of organizations that have worked in a coordinated way for some fifteen years. That is one of its great successes: a fifteen-year history connecting different expressions of struggle for the right to the city, for the construction of a new collective habitat, and for an urban revolution. Pobladoras brings together five different organizations that struggle for the right to housing: Movimiento de Inquilinas [tenants’ anti-eviction movement], Campamentos de Pioneros [self‐construction housing initiative], Movimiento de Trabajadoras Residenciales [residential workers movement], Comites de Tierra Urbana [Urban Land Committees, henceforth CTU, formed in the early days of the Bolivarian Process to struggle for urban land titles], and Movimiento de Ocupantes de Edificios Organizados [vacant building occupiers movement]. However, we are not merely a housing-rights organization. The organization does not limit itself to fighting for reformist claims.

Pro-Coup Venezuelan Soldiers Who Fled To The US Now Locked Up In ICE Detention Center

December 29, 2019 Alan Macleod, Mintpress News. Educate! ICE, Juan Guaido, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The Venezuelan soldiers who participated in the U.S.-backed coup attempt in April of this year and subsequently fled to the U.S. have been incarcerated in ICE detention camps ever since. Telemundo, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal, secured an interview with Major Hugo Parra, the highest-ranking of the handful of soldiers who answered self-declared President Juan Guaidó’s call to overthrow the government of Nicolas Maduro. After the coup ended in spectacular failure, Parra revealed that he fled the country, ending up in the United States on April 11, where he expected to be given a hero’s welcome for his part in the Trump-approved insurrection. Instead, he was immediately detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), first kept in a facility in Texas, then later transferred to the Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana. He has been refused all requests for bail or appointments to see a judge, one of nearly 42,000 people, most of them from Latin America, currently locked up in ICE prisons.

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro Thursday announced that the Venezuelan Great Housing Mission (GMVV) achieved its 2019 goal by completing the delivery of 3 million dwellings to the Bolivarian people as planned. "Despite the Imperialist economic, trade and financial blockade, which robbed us of so many resources in 2019, the construction industry did not stop," Maduro said at an event in the state of La Guaira where he handed over the keys of the dwelling number 3 million to a local family.

Military Assault Raises Alert In Venezuela

December 28, 2019 By Marco Teruggi, Libya360.wordpress.com Resist! Latin America, Regime Change, Venezuela

An armed group assaulted a military facility in the south of Venezuela, in the state of Bolivar, bordering Brazil. The action that took place on Sunday morning was broadcast on social networks during the morning and confirmed by Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López in the afternoon. The minister attributed the event to “extremist sectors of the opposition” who, during the attack, stole a batch of weapons that was later recovered when six of the assailants were arrested. “At this moment, the detainees are providing information of criminal interest and the Bolivarian National Armed Force and other state security agencies are activated in pursuit of the terrorists.

The US Approves Bill That May Legislate Hybrid Warfare On Venezuela

December 21, 2019 Nino Pagliccia, Oneworld.press Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Latin America, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

In a nutshell, we can safely say that the US government will make large amounts of US taxpayers' money available for regime change in Venezuela under the guise of “humanitarian relief” for a crisis that the US government created to start with. On December 16, both houses in the US approved the appropriation bill to be signed by President Trump. Aside from the mind-boggling amount of $1.4 trillion that was approved in total our interest was in looking at the details concerning Venezuela. A press release issued by the organization Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) is quite misleading...

Sanctions Kill. Join AFGJ And Nicaraguan Farmers To Fight The Blockade Of Venezuela

December 19, 2019 Chuck Kaufman, AFGJ Create! economic sanctions, Nicaragua, Venezuela

The Manitos Children’s Fund raises money in North America (US and Canada) to buy food from Nicaraguan cooperatives to donate for children’s nutrition in Venezuela. But there’s a lot more to the story than just the basics. The reason Venezuelan children need to have their nutrition supplemented is because the United States government is trying to overthrow their government, and the weapon of choice is unilateral coercive measures – sanctions – that are explicitly forbidden in the Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS). Sanctions are sold to us as a more humane way to pressure other governments to bow to our will. But that is not true. Sanctions kill. In April 2019, Mark Weisbrot, director of Center for Economic and Policy Research, and Colombia University Economist Jeffrey Sachs released a report on the effects of sanctions on Venezuela. Their report revealed at least 40,000 more people died in 2017-18 under sanctions than died in a similar period before sanctions.

TIME Magazine Won’t Say It, But Maduro Is The Man Of The Year

December 19, 2019 By Iroel Sánchez, La Pupula Insomne, translation Resumen Latinoamericano, North America bureau. Educate! Democracy, Nicolas Maduro, US coup, Venezuela

On January 4, 2019, the governments of the now decadent Grupo de Lima announced that from January 10 – the date on which, after winning elections whose numbers were better in terms of majority and participation than those legitimized by several of the leaders who questioned him, Nicolás Maduro would be proclaimed President of Venezuela – they would no longer recognize the Bolivarian government as the representative of the Venezuelan people. From that moment on, the actions, sanctions and statements against Maduro’s government followed one after the other without pause. Visible was an open presence of the United States government, in the person of its President, its Vice President, its Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor.

Venezuelan Communication Minister, Jorge Rodriguez, revealed Saturday details of a terrorist operation that was intended to be perpetrated against the Gran Mariscal Sucre Headquarters and the Zonal Command No. 53 of the Bolivarian National Guard in the state of Sucre.

A year ago, John Bolton, Trump’s short-lived national security advisor, invoked the 1823 Monroe Doctrine making explicit what has long been painfully implicit: the dominions south of the Rio Grande are the empire’s “backyard.” Yet 2019 was a year best characterized as the revolt of the dispossessed for a better world against the barbarism of neoliberalism. As Rafael Correa points out, Latin America today is in dispute. What follows is a briefing on this crossroads.

Insulin is a crucial hormone for people suffering from type 1 diabetes mellitus and who cannot survive without its administration. US sanctions against Venezuela have closed the door to access to traditional suppliers causing incredible pain to the Venezuelan population In this sense, Geropharm becomes the only provider of this vital drug in this country. In the near future, genetically modified insulin of short and medium duration in bottles will be available to patients across the country, according to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
